I need a hero!

And i found one. In the form of a nl 200 player who decided too challenge the micro FR forum posters. It was a NL 25 challenge too see who could earn the most money in a week. WCGRider or 5 nl 25 regs. He took side bets aswell on the action. I think most people expected the 5 uNL players too take this down, boy where they in for a shock on day 1.

He managed 20k hands and won buy-ins on his day alone. <3
I think i might sweet some of his tables and see how he does. His VPIP his extremely impressive for someone who 24 tables, and too see some that agressive be that successful is aso very interesting.

gg, nh Rider.

Whoring on Party

The f*ckers kept spamming me with bonus offers so i decided to avail of them, i dunno why, the offers are shite. 15% deposit bonus and $20 for free, wop-d-fucking do.

But i withdrew $200 from Stars and $85 from Ultimate bet as i wasnt using those sites really so i put it into stars. Got dicked royally today and am currently down 5 buy-ins. Brilliant stuff. Tempted too just withdraw it all now. But i might aswell stick at it. Should be finished the bonus by tonight or tomorrow.

Dropped 2 buy-ins on Ipokr aswell today, ugh one of those days i think.

Finally got Theory of pokr and Harrington on Holdem Vol I & II though. Half way through TOP and it seems excllnt, a bit complx though, s ome parts take a few reads for it too sink in.

What a difference a day makes...

Had a great day at the weekend. Finished up 6 buy-ins and i am now in the green. Played 1.1k hands on Saturday at ran at 17/13/2.88 which is a bit tighter then normal.

Ran very well and won a few coin flips which was great. Currently up 2 and half buy-ins at NL 20 over 9k hands which isnt great, but alot bettr then i thought i would be bfore saturday.

Currntly have 2.5k FPP. I have too reach 37,500 too get my deposit bonus of $500 so it will take me a while.

Anyway, here's some of the hands from the last week.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Gotta keep on trucking...

Another week, another update. And another lossing week at that. Played another 2k hands in the last week and and dropped 1 and a half buy-ins too keep me a steady downward slope. I got my first rakback payment though so its not all doom and gloom. Getting it paid on thee 12th of every month so will do a update on that day. Got $15 this month which isnt great but its nearly a buy-in for just 4.5k hands so i cant complain. Earned 1,600FPP so far, so i have moved up too orange level. Unfortunalty it wont take affect until the start of February which is really annoying.


Been tightening up my game ever so slight the last week, been runing 18/14/2.88 and i feel my decision making has imrpoved i am less inclined to spew chips off unessecarily.


Alot of chips have been lost in alot of mediumish sized pots where i havent ben 100% sure on how too play it. With the split have taken place on 2+2 i am hoping more hands will be post for NL 25 which will hopefully help improve my game seeing what others would do in certain situations. Heres a few of the hands from the week


Hand 1:

Villan was a massive donk so this hand was very difficult to play, as soon as he min-raised i knew i was done, but i still had too call.
